I just received an email from a (former) possible employer.
Again I've been told thanks but no thanks. We have a couple candidates who are more familiar with "mail order" processing.
How in the hell do you know if I am qualified or familiar with it if you didn't ask?
I will end up at freaking Wal-Mart.....
I have no formal education, but I have a lot of experience. Not everyone could afford to go to college in my day.
I work hard. I put my heart and soul into whatever job I have,
And no one wants to give me a chance.
There are so few jobs available as it is - and I am older, I made more money than anyone wants to pay apparently. I've been told I'm "over qualified"....
I am angry. I am hurt. I am depressed as hell.
I want to work. I want a job where I can contribute and use my experience. I do not want a job where I do not have to think and just do the same thing over and over. I am too old to work two or three part time or full time minimum wage jobs.
I did NOT say I am too good to work those types of jobs. I will if I have to.
Part of my job was "out sourced". Part. Get that? Part. I did the work of two or three people and they cut my job. Now others are working even harder than they were before (I have talked to them - hence I know of what I speak) and the old bosses friend is making money - they gave my job to his company.
Yep, I'm angry.
Yep, I'm worried as hell.
And yes, I'm scared.
